Abstract

Intensity-induced nonlinear effects in optical window materials have been investigated at 308 nm. The absolute two-photon absorption coefficients for fused silica, CaF2, BaF2, Al2O3 and ADP crystals have been measured by using a single 120 ps, transform-limited pulse from the second harmonic of a distributed feedback (DFB) dye laser. The nonlinear refractive index coefficient γ has been obtained from measurements of far-field intensity distributions.
